Paul Westerberg at Virgin Records: "I Will Dare"

[debgill23]

wow... watchin' my hero's fall one by one.

[resovoirdog100]

wow...that sounded like shit

[handymandan100]

@resovoirdog100 yeah, Kei$ha sounds much better.  Like a polished turd.

[resovoirdog100]

@handymandan100 your mother sounds much better. Like a howling monkey.

[handymandan100]

@resovoirdog100 Sweetheart, my mother sings like a pro. I got it from her, too. Try again.

[resovoirdog100]

@handymandan100 no, not gonna go any further with mother joke ;)

[handymandan100]

@resovoirdog100 good form, chap!

[antifolkhero]

He looks like he got into a fight where his opponent was armed only with a bottle of bleach.

[Leeperryvery]

what are the chords that he uses in the song? please some one i can see a G maybe A7 i dont know....someone?

[ioriorioriorio]

He is definitely a modern talent, very talented, but he stole the hook for this from "I'm only dreaming" by john Lennon

[jdenicholls]

@ioriorioriorio All good songwriters do it. This is one of the more obviously nicked ideas, but everyone worth their salt has taken from the Beatles. Also it's "I'm Only Sleeping".

[spadge321]

i hate cunts like bryan adams and twats like bon jovi who make bread out of watering this proper stuff down, Westerberg has paid his dues,, keef's off spring,,

[rockinroller7]

Don't think Westerburg has ever been lpoking for "stardom," just wants to play for himself, and if some of us dig it, probably cool with him.

Peace.

Rock

[vakeromty]

@rockinroller7 totally agree with you...he is a true rocker ..he does not give a damn about anything..except his music....

[rockinroller7]

@vakeromty Sorry for the delay.

You said it all about guys who don't 'give a damn,' making them 'a true rocker.

Peace.

Rock

[lukeashmoore]

[meandminni]

[lukeashmoore]

this brought a tear to my eye.

[fugamante]

Man he's glasses were reminiscent. Great sound! How was this recorded anyway?

[1MNGG]

Hey gonna check out the Suburb renunion/ for Bruce Allen at First Ave on Sat?

[warmwarmerdisco]

[ZRN959]

[wheredoescouragecome]

Wow, he's a pretty great guitar player.

[phenomenal1spaz]

hes average bob stinson was so much better

[MNGirlyGirl]

Love you Paul.

With love from MPLS.

[igottajob2]

G Aminor D Aminor

[deardichotomy]

is that an A minor on I Will Dare?

Looks/sounds like a funky major voicing...maybe a 7th?

[gypwin]

great song.check out 'gypwin' on you tube

[machbaby]

This is the song that should have launched the Replacements into super stardom. Instead, its legacy will quietly endure with us dysfunctional types.

I wonder how many times Paul has said to himself... "What the hell does a guy have to do?" As he bangs his head against his Marshall stack and desperately clutches a half empty can of warm, Heineken beer.

[97chrisburrows]

so true man.

[derfunkhaus]

You mean to get a hit? I don't think he asks that at all. He releases CDs that sound like demos, hardly the behavior of a man trying to achieve commercial success.

[DrummerBoone]

Agree... One of the my favorite and greatest songs they released

[catbird1988]

warm heineken???

[gogunn]

...or is this the song when Paul sold his soul to the devil...?

[gogunn]

No I take it back. This Is AWESOME!

[KristyB5]

@machbaby They did it to themselves, though. I like the way their history pans out even so. It's why we hold them so near and dear to this day. :)

I just love how if you close your eyes, Westerberg's voice is ageless. Still sexy as hell.

[gogunn]

That's my guitar! Stolen by a junkie in 1983.

[THEsuperCourier]

...huh? Paul was a junkie in 1983???... :)

[realman63]

I like his sunglasses.

[XxgrayfoxXXX]

Paul is awsome XD

[orphantrf]

OMG! I can die now.

[ataglancemusic]

this guy is the shit

[ih8music]

great clip... got any more from that show?

[KellyGreen5555]

Primo Westerberg!
